The house at the corner of Station Road doesn't appear to be a shop although it was by 1923 and probably earlier- Frederick Booth, confectioner. Its believed originally to have been a blacksmiths.
Look at the garage - we've never seen a picture before the cars and petrol pumps arrived. It was advertised as a garage in 1924. It's thought originally to have been a stables for one of the collieries. One of the houses in the Garage Row seems to have a nameboard over the door. We have no record of any business/shop here so that's something new that we have learned.
